First Cold

Mabel has her first cold. Nothing too serious. Just a little snuffy nose and cough. She's handling it like a trooper. She had a harder time falling to sleep tonight, but she's currently sleeping like a baby.

Patch update - not so good. Mabel hates the patch. She occasionally will tolerate it for a while, but the longest we've been able to keep it on her is 45 min. It's really hard to see a baby who never fusses cry and grab at her eye. We just keep doing as much as she and we can tolerate. I should note that she appears to be able to see something with her weak eye. Her favorite thing to do when she is patched is play in her gym and look at the fish.

We had a nice quiet weekend at home. Mabel had her first vegetable - squash. She wasn't too sure about it, as you can tell from the video.

We took a nice walk today in the neighborhood and did some shopping. I had been eyeing up a Christmas dress for Mabel for about a month through a shop window. I finally went in the shop today and realized that the dress was ridiculously overpriced. Somehow, it mattered not. The dress had to become Mabel's. They didn't have her size, but we should receive it from another location in a few days.
